The rail unions often cancel or postpone inaction at this time of year as the rail companies start changing schedules & shutting lines.

He'll be at Bloomfield Road with his mam by June.

Oddly yes. In that it seemed to be less ineptly corrupt. This one seems to be more overwhelmingly greedy.

Except their own pockets. I noticed Blatter in the press today going on about how shite it all is now. With no irony whatsoever.

Can you even imagine how much Brighton would want for ACD !

They can score twice. There ! You didn't think of that, did you !?

If he can't get a start for the B team it's not great is it. Obviously he may be carrying an issue or Schu thinks he's had game time recently but we should expect something happening in January.

Along with the Celtic substitute.

When I was a kid we'd play war games, shooting each other with imaginary guns. For the woke amongst us we called it 'Japs & English'. A 'best dead' competition would be included for the kid who died in the most dramatic way. It seems Chelsea have revived that. We've all seen diving & flopping about increase for decades but this season's Chelsea have taken it to new lows, developing a 'fish out of water' technique on full desplay yesterday. So much so that it's clear they must practice it in training.

Dougie would be pleased.

He was in Wrexham's 4th Division teams, but not in their 3rd. He was let go to Dundee Utd. & was anywhere near their thoughts for the current lot. Agreed that he seems an honest enough lad.

Except he has no real history of success in previous clubs apart from a very purple patch last year for Dundee Utd. Full record, by age 25, is 200 league games, 35 goals ... 15 of which were in Tayside.

Saying this is ¾ an Evatt squad = Evatt was getting f'call from the talent he recruited. Due to his formations, his back line pass-around obsession & his piss-poor people management. Then we come to spending very significant sums on people who aren't much cop in positions in which we were pretty well covered.

Marvellous. The bounce didn't last long. ... & good for Randall W.

We'd be in bother if we'd selected Sheehan, Worthy. Being suspended.

Morley is an interesting call, as are Tutu & Dacres-Cogley. I like D-C but Christie offers a different solidity. I'm not anti Tutu either, maybe Gale needs a bit of care. Erhahon maybe also bit he'd get my call over Morley. Anyway, I'm not the manager.

Your memory fails you then. 50+ years, to a Bowtoner, is like an hour ago. But yes, focus on tomorrow. Unless Aston does the half-time draw. I note that he runs Petz World in Stalybridge and has a market stall in Glossop, selling pet food and supplies. I may pop by.

In my old days we just would play him anyway and give him another players name.

Don't fret. It'll be you.

Infantino & his cronies are just a development from Blatter & Platini. Ronaldo being given such clear favourable treatment is outrageous but sadly predictable. Thankfully Ronaldo is a shadow of his former self and the only one who doesn't see it is Ronaldo himself. Poncing around the pitch throwing cobblers & sulks, demanding he takes every free kick despite not having scored from one this century. Daring his managers to not pick him or to substitute him, falling out with teammates & cutting dead any journalist who dares comment against hi...... (Where's he gone ? Dunno. But he was criticising Ronaldo when he disappea...)

Ta. I understand none of this new-fandangled nomenclature.

Would that be like a '10' ?

Did that once, terrace row near Goodison. They fckd off & I came back to a parking ticket. Though, tbf, 4 wheels & not smashed or scratched. I gave 'em a shite rating on 'Pick-a-Trade'.

The voice of reason.
